    I am from Alabama, and I KNOW I have a southern twang to my voice. When I recently went to Washington State to visit family, all of their friends kept asking me to "Say Something" lol. I thought they were crazy becuase I didn't realize how southern my accent really is. So where are you from? Or what is your accent? And which one's do you think are sexy??

    I love and European accent!!!

    This is exactly the way it is for me. I live in Louisiana. I have a very country accent and people will giggle and repeat back a word trying to sound like me. It can get irritating and sometimes it feel demeaning like they think I am dumb because I sound like this. What's funny to me is alot of times they don't sound funny to me so I wonder how I sound funny to them.

    My favorite accent is Australian. Hands down!! SEXY!!

    I have a Texas accent. Specifically west texas. Y'all and such with drawl. The more I am trying to be friendly the more it comes out. If I am just being professional there is no sign of it.

    Southwestern, I don't notice it, but people from the midwest do. I can tell if someone is from AZ, New Mexico, CO. there is a certain dialect we use rather than an accent.

    English midlands accent with a slight northern twang on some words and more southern on others.

    Western Canadian. I don't think I have an accent, but last time I was seeing my friends in Seattle they were convinced I had an Irish accent. Go figure seeing as I have no Irish heritage

    For me, my favorite accent is Australian

    I was born and raised in New York (The Bronx and lived in Queens) and pretty much lived there all my life up until 2 years ago. I currently reside in Florida and everyone here tells me I have a hardcore New "Yawker" accent. They really seem to get a kick out of telling me to say things like "water" "stairs" etc..


    Your accent=pure awesome:wink:

    ^^ Haha thanks! I tried for a bit to tone it down, but I have finally just accepted the fact that "r's" pretty much will never exist in anything I have to say :tongue:

    umm, jersey.
  • I was raised by a southern dad and a northern mom and was surrounded by the different accents that make up the Army. People always complimented me on my "weird" accent because I sounded different from everyone. I moved to North Carolina when I was 11 and slowly picked up a southern accent. Now that I have lived in North Dakota for a few years I've picked up a mid-west accent mixed with my southern. So no matter where I go they make fun of me. But the joke's on them because the more they mock me the more they pick it up themselves.

    I've got a really weird accent that comes out differently in different situations. I come from the west Midlands so I've got a brummy twang but then lived in Lancashire for 12 years so I've got Lancashire vowels. now I live in south Staffordshire so I've got a bit of yam yam in me as well lol
  • in canadian but i supposedly have an english accent, my parent are jamaican and i'm guessing that it's just a weak jamaican, but i met this old woman once, an she was going to kill herself trying to convince me that its and english one, even when i told her my heritage......(english as in england, not american)
    it was funny though
  • South African accent - speak Afrikaans as well, so I tend to still roll my RRRRR's and make weird GGGGGGGG sounds.

    Constantly asked where in NZ or OZ am I from ? weird.....

    I think I am losing it now, been here in the UK for 6 yrs now, slowly converting to a British one, sounding a bit posh lately, I'd say old chap !

    What is an American "non-accent"?

    I think when people say American non-accent they mean the type of American dialect you here on tv or movies. "normal American" but when you go to different parts of the US like New England, the south or the northern states near the Canadian border the dialect is much different. It's own lingo and everything.

    I'm from New England - New Hampshire specifically. I don't usually have the accent that goes with it. Unless I'm really excited and then I lose the "r's". And the phrases come out sometimes. Like whadareyastupidorsomethin? On the east coast that's one word. LOL I have a lot of the terminolgy still. I use "wicked" a lot. When Idahoans use it they do it "wrong". Here its and adjective. "That mountain is wicked!" Where I'm from its an adverb. So I'm thinking...wicked what? Wicked high? Wicked dangerous? Wicked fun? I don't understand. :)

    I'm Canadian so a Canadian accent it is. Actually to be honest, I don't know what a Canadian accent sounds like! I think its cause I believe everyone here talks normally and I grew up with it.

    I sound like the guy with the backwards hat in this video, we're from the same town. My voice is a little higher-pitched and girlier though lol
